The 0.1 is not intended to be a filter, although it does create a slight rolloff in the 10Hz region. Its actual purpose is to block any DC that's present at the source. The 33pF/470k combination is a low pass filter to attenuate RF (broadcast stations, ham radio operators, etc.) It's a little too close to the audio band for my taste, and I would remove it. A 200kHz LC low pass would be a better choice, but only if needed in order to solve a problem in a particular situation.
